SixApart generosity.
I won a new iPod Shuffle from Vox for completing a blogging survey.
They shipped it to me and that incurred a sizable charge at customs.
SixApart stepped up and paid that fee as well.
Nice play. Thanks Gladys!

Lost, you were on thin ice at the start of season 3… now Bai Ling shows up.
Oy, I wanted to toss a shoe at the TV.
You’re close to being cut Lost.
I’m going to switch it up tomorrow and use a different interval.
I was reading a few articles on the intertubes and I’m going to try 8 seconds of sprinting and then 12 seconds of slow jogging/cycling.
10 min – warm-up
10 min – 8s fast/12s slow
10 min – Gerschler Fartlek
15 min – cool down
I’ll see if this works or not.
One of the disadvantages for Interval/Fartlek training is you can be a victim of being a lazy bastard. For example, this morning I found a number of my sprint intervals lasting 27 or 28 seconds rather than 30. This regiment requires you to push yourself and sometimes you wake up and don’t want to push yourself to the edge of exhaustion.
I think that in the grand scheme of the training, being lazy won’t cause too much of an issue, but I don’t like the look of this trend.
So watch yourself, you may be like me, a fair weather trainer.
Perhaps if we hung a Bear Claw in front of your treadmill you’d be more inclined to run, fatty. No? Guess you don’t want to sweat the gravy out of your system.
PS. This particular style of “Motivation” helped me become the svelte 230 lbs that I am today.
Is addiction to bacon-wrapped chocolate bars a disease? It sounds like one to me.
In Scotland, that’s actually a branch of Cuisine. The Scottish Nutritional Board (RNB) ranks it between “Iron Brew” and Tripe Smoothies on the Food Wheel.
I’ve realized that I’m not cooling down properly after ultimate. This is leading to my heartrate remaining higher than it should be for quite a while.
While at the gym I’m careful to watch my heartrate drop from 170 to 100-105 during my cooldown. But after ultimate I walk around a bit and then just sit.
This ain’t helping nothing as my heartrate is still too high when I’m trying to get to sleep.

I had another game last night. We lost again, but on the upside I felt better than last week, so it appears that the Fartlek training is working.
Post!
This is stupid.
bloop
Instant reminders, calendars, notes, basecamp, 30 boxes all from your IM client? Heeeeeelllls yes.
So hot.

I am also getting frustrated with some of the latest developments. Carl (or Karl) the exiled “Other” who has been tortured, and treated like a lab rat, seemed to me to be the answer to a bunch of nagging questions. Where did the Others come from? What are they doing here? Why did they kidnap Sawyer and Kate, just to put them in cages and have them haul rocks around? How much contact do they have with the outside world? ETC.ETC.ETC.
However, Sawyer tells him to take off before grilling him for answers – that doesn’t make any sense to me. As if Sawyer isn’t a bit baffled by the Others and curious to get some answers…
However, I am far more loyal a fan than you, and I’ll stick it out till the bitter end in hopes of it regaining it’s previous wonderfulnessity! And when it does, you’ll be all confused because you missed episodes and I’ll just laugh and laugh.

You are more loyal, but we only have one TV, so I guess I’m watching more Lost. :)
